Ethiopia is not a contracting party to the Hague Apostille Convention. Documents for Ethiopia therefore go through consular legalisation: the competent authority and the foreign ministry of the issuing country certify the document, and the Ethiopia embassy or consulate legalises it.
Consular legalisation via the Ethiopian Embassy.
Typical requests for Ethiopia concern adoption, family reunification and business. Authorities in Ethiopia generally expect documents in Amharic or English; where a document is not bilingual, we add a sworn translation, and for several countries the translator’s signature is apostilled as well. English documents are generally accepted; Amharic translations are sometimes requested.
Notaryzer handles it end to end: the notary reviews your application, we organise the apostille or legalisation in the issuing country, arrange the translation and ship the result to you or directly to the recipient in Ethiopia.
